5. 6.27.18 7.9.18 Due to the lack of design-build opportunities throughout the region, it is nearly impossible for a SDV company to reflect previous project experience as a complete design build team. Will the VA accept project experience from both the SDV general contractor and the designer even if they were not part of a single team in lieu of the above stated requirement (and not result in lower rating).

Additionally, will the VA consider allowing the inclusion of non-design build projects (still meeting the $500k threshold) from a SDV company in the project experience factor due to the overall lack of opportunities made available?

If a prime contractor does not have Design-Build experience, they are permitted to provide up to three relevant non-Design-Build projects that are completed for improvement of concrete street and parking projects similar in size and scope to this project. The designer for the team can also provide up to three relevant projects that fall under the requested criteria for the project. A maximum of total six (6) projects may be submitted for Factor 1 Experience. This same direction also applies to Factor 3 Past Performance.
